CHARLES DICKENS A CHRISTMAS CAROL Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was one of the most famous English novelists of the Victorian era, known for his vivid characters, social criticism, and memorable storytelling. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens experienced poverty as a child when his father was imprisoned for debt. These early hardships deeply influenced his writing, which often focused on social inequality and the struggles of the poor. In 1843, he published A Christmas Carol, one of the most beloved holiday stories ever written. The novella tells the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Through these visions, Scrooge learns compassion and generosity, transforming into a kinder man. The story helped revive and popularize many modern Christmas traditions, emphasizing charity, goodwill, and family. Today, A Christmas Carol remains Dickens’s most famous holiday work and is widely read and adapted for stage, film, and television.
